Elucidating the Origin of Tetrodotoxin in Pleurobranchaea maculata and Stylochoplana sp.
, 2015 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an extremely potent neurotoxin that acts by selectively targeting voltage gated sodium channels blocking propagation of action potentials.

Microbial and chemical diversity of tetrodotoxin producing marine animals
, 2013 Marine molluscs are known to employ a variety of defence systems to improve their survivability, such as the production of bioactive molecules. Recently, microbes have been identified as the true producers of these compounds. Similarly, tetrodotoxin (TTX)
